Val: The boys (Dave and Matt) and I needed an overnight bed so that we could make an early start for Country Life at the Castle at Hever and Dave managed to find quite a find - Bolebroke Castle that was used by Henry VIII when he was courting Anne Boleyn;  the house/castle is amazing with obviously all you would expect from that era of house - grand staircase (on which the rise of the stairs is very small so that ladies can glide up and down!) to having huge and amazing fireplaces.   Dont expect 5star luxury but worth a visit.(you might need Sat nav to find it as it is a little hidden away!) www.bolebrokecastle.co.uk
